#56 Rage, Control, Surrender, and Other Light-Hearted Topics w/ Matt Rose (Pt 2)

If you haven't listened to Part 1, go back and start there at Episode #55 (which is Part one of this two part episode). We know we keep talking about this, but we (and just about every other parent we know) keep struggling with it. How is it that - no matter how many times it happens, no matter how aware we are of the dynamics, and no matter how much we work against it - sometimes the temperature in the house just gets turned up so high that things explode? Luckily, we've got a new brain and a new perspective entering the conversation: our old friend and father of one Matt Rose, who pushes us into whole new ways of thinking about this age-old parenting culsterf*©k. We get into the uncomfortable relationship between caring deeply for a thing and wanting to exert power over it... the constant push-pull between the need for control and the inevitability of surrender... the fiery reactions we have when our own identities feel threatened... and, of course, an S&M joke or two. Tuck in, y'all. This one goes deep.Buy Violet Archer on Amazon HereMilkless on InstagramMilkless on TikTokLISTEN + WATCH VIOLET ARCHERFollow on Instagram
